Cmaj7
I'm so sick of thinking
Am7
Staying up at night
Em
I don't wanna play around
Bm7
That ain't on my mind
Cmaj
When I think about her face
Am7
These problems don't exist
Em                              Dmaj7
But if I'm being honest with you

                  Cmaj7
I'm tired of that fantasy
                 Am7
I'm tired of the daydream
              Em7                         Bm7
Tired of just waiting for sleep to see you
            Cmaj7
I know it's imaginary
               Am7
But I think my mind is ready
                   Em
Need to leave this sanctuary for something true

Chorus:
                Cmaj7 Am7 Em7 Bm
I just want the real  thing
                Cmaj7 Am7 Em7 Bm
I just want the real  thing

I want all the fights, you know I want all the tears
I want all the conversations, tell me all your fears
'Cause I know that it's hard for you to trust
No one's ever given you enough
I might need to stop and give it up (Ayy)

Tired of that fantasy, I'm tired of the daydream
Tired of just waiting for sleep to see you
I know it's imaginary, but I think my mind is ready
Need to leave this sanctuary for something true

Chorus:
                Cmaj7 Am7  Em7 Bm
I just want the real  thing   (oh)
                Cmaj7 Am7 Em7 Dmaj7
I just want the real  thing
                Cmaj7 Am    Em7 Bm
I just want the real  thing
 Em7                          Bm
(I don't wanna think, I don't wanna live in fantasy)
Cmaj7 Am7
Real   thing
 Em7                          Dmaj7
(I just want you here, I just want you in reality)

                C Am  Em
I just want the real thing
                            Bm
I just want the real thing, oh-oh
C Am
(Aye)

Chorus:
I just want the real, the real thing
(I don't wanna think, I don't wanna live in fantasy)
I just want the real thing
(I just want you here, I just want you in reality)

I just want you here, I just want you in reality
Oh, real thing
Oh
